[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
I've just flashed the boot.img and system.img from Peter Alfonso:

http://www.peteralfonso.com/2011/11/download-100-stock-fastboot-images-for.html

Boot.img worked fine after the reboot. I've flashed the system.img now and its been on the pretty colours screen for a good few minutes.

Anyone got any ideas? Trying to unroot my device
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Anyone :'(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Can someone please upload their system.img so I can flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cellzealot:
I believe your problem is that those images are for the VZW LTE version and the build.prop is telling the system to use the LTE ril and you have a GSM radio. There may be other discrepancies as well between versions. Check to development forum for a GSM system and

boot image that you can fastboot to restore your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
They are for a GSM version I believe aren't they. I cant find a system.img anywhere :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cellzealot:
I think I was wrong, I read about updating the VZW images when its released and got confused sorry.

Not sure why it might have hosed your phone. Have you tried reflashing it in fastboot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
yep. I did ./fastboot flash system system.img

Just gets in a loop on the loading screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Could I flash the CWM image in fastboot and install the modaco rom? Would that work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cellzealot:
Theoretically, yes it should, but I was hesitant to suggest something like that because we weren't sure what caused the issue to begin with. If you are willing to give it a shot and have already resigned yourself to losing your warranty, then it seems worth a try.

At this point, the safest thing would be to wait until an OTA update is pushed out and it will either fix everything or give you a clearer chance at getting it replaced under warranty.

Not a very satisfying answer, sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
:( The issue occured when i flashed the system.img. The boot.img from his package worked fine.

I can only get the device into fastboot it seems, so I cant adb push the ROM to the device anyway :'(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cellzealot:

Did you try downloading the images from that thread? They may work better for you since they were pulled from a UK device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Do you mean the DD image? I was a bit weary as it was 600mb .img file and a normal system.img is 250mb

Not entirely sure what that is and don't want to make it worse. Also, not sure what the zip file is either
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
It's probably a sparse image judging from the size of it. If it compresses down to a normal size when you zip it you will know if my guess was correct. :)

Not sure how you would flash those though, other than using dd to write them back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
He has put

cd dump

adb pull /system system

## Edited /META-INF/com/google/android/update-script with:

## show_progress 0.1 0

##

## copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

## set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:app

## show_progress 0.1 10

##

## Zip system and META-INF folders into gnsys.zip

## Signed using testsign.jar

So the system is in gnsys.zip and fasboot can flash system via a zip I take it.

I have no idea how to use dd either :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
If it's an update.zip is has to be flashed using recovery, a custom recovery in this case since the signature will be changed or incorrect.

My dd comment was referring to what parts of the emmc you should set as the output. Using dd in general is not a problem, even though one should always be careful when using it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cellzealot:
Rather than try to cobble together a solution, I think it's probably best to wait until someone posts a proper system image or an official set of stock images is made available. While I believe it could very well work and should, I just think its safer to try to restore it with known good images, especially since you haven't done anything that extreme yet and the fix should be very simple.

That is the frustrating part because all you need is the right set of images to restore.

Edit: /system is about 643MBs when you use dd to make an image and mmcblk0p10 is the /system partition

I am generally all for DIY solutions but without a safety net of stock images this early, when an official solution is likely to be made available shortly, I recommend waiting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
OK cheers guys.

Won't the OTA just have part of a system rather than the lock?

I've got in contact with Pete so might try see of we can solve that. If not, hopefully patch will be out before Wednesday so I can flash and send back.

Failing that I'll have to hope someone accepts it anyway
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] wachalookinat:
Does anyone know if its possible to port the new version of gtalk from ics over to ginger roms? Namely MIUI. Also, the new gmail would be pretty sweet as well. :p
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] wachalookinat:
Ill take that as a definite maybe, lol. If I had posted this under development, id have a bunch of replies. But Id also get flamed. Oh well.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Exel:
Don't think so, as those apps depend on some framework from ICS, I believe.

Don't take mt word for it, though.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Matt_Comm:
I had a crazy ICs style version on 2.3.7 / miui 2.1.20 - wiped and reflashed... now for the life of me I cannot find this version anywhere.

I think I have looked through every gtalk thread on the internet.

Just tried to go back to a fresh backup(30 min old) and I get the message "Error restoring /system!" after a while. Happends on all my backups, with latest Rom manager and latest recovery. I saw a thread somewhere about deleting su-backup, file is not found when trying to with adb so I guess I don't have it. Couldn't find anything else about it, what can I do?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radixon:
I had a similar problem. I solved it by using ext4 recovery instead of cwm.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwibel:
You can't just restore the backup? or your phone isn't turning on and stuck on a white screen?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] googleye:
It's just the backup that fails, luckily I still had all ROM files on my SDcard so I flashed Ultimate Ace and now thats what I'm using. Root is back as well, however I still very much need all my apps and settings.

Would you please post a guide on ext4 recovery? I've gotten used to CWM, can you have them both at the same time?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radixon:
To be honest there both pretty much the same as each other. I just use ext4 because ARHD flashed it when I first installed it. You cant run both together.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] googleye:
Same stupid error with 4EXT :( :( :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] googleye:
There has to be some solution to this? I seriously can't be the only one with failed restores?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radixon:
Is it every backup that fails? Or just the one. It could just be a bad backup. As for getting apps etc back, there's an app called "app extractor" (search all one word) which can actually pull your apps and data from a nandroid backup. I believe titanium backup can do this also. Hope this helps. :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] googleye:
I just restored everything with TB, forgot it existed. But still, now I'm afraid of changing roms since backups doesn't work. And yes it's all backups, even my original rom backup which has worked before, I'm suspecting the issue came along with cwm 5

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radixon:
All I can suggest is to switch to the latest 4ext recovery. Download the 4ext app from the market and install from that.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] googleye:
I have tried with 4ext as well, it is now the recovery I mainly use because it provided alot more information. But it still gave me the same error, and every time I try I have to wipe and re-flash which means all my settings resets...

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Word to the wise. Never restore any system data and settings
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] googleye:
I never do, that's why I have to set them all over again, as for system apps I don't think I use any of them except market and gmail.

If someone's still interested: solved the problem with /format system. after that i could easily restore my backup w/o error.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] medorpg:
Hello everyone,

For like 2 year now I still have iPhone 3G which was very relaxing (but now slow) so when I thought of update I thought about getting Android

So I got the Galaxy S2, It's a great phone with great hardware but I really guys dont know what exactly to tell you or what to say

but I find iPhone way more relaxing than Android :( and I really can't tell why

maybe the colors maybe the design of the android it self I really dont know

even though a lot of apps are available and everything is customizable but still

something is wrong for me and I dont know what it is, the motion and effects of the iphone are smoother or just better and gives you this great feeling and its not what it is on android

Also the keyboard, even though my screen is 4.3 inches and the keyboard is larger but I find that iPhone's keyboard is better it just feels good

My hope is very high with ICS 4 that Google would take care of UI and UX better than that, also organizing everything to make it easier or something

I know I'm not accurate but I just wanted to tell you guys to tell me what you really think and if its me only or everyone and also if you have a solution for this

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
Iphone uses a very high resolution IPS LCD screen ("retina" is just a fancy marketing word for that), not AMOLED based like the Samsung phones (thus color reproduction will not be the same). If you don't like the default colors, try another theme (system themes require root to change, launcher themes do not).

Try a different launcher. Something like Go Launcher is pretty close the iphone. If that's not enough, try the MIUI ROM (requires root) for your phone if you haven't. MIUI is as close as you will get period to having an iphone while still having an android phone.

Try another keyboard than the one the phone comes with (such a swype or swiftkey)? Generally the stock keyboard sucks.

Most iphone users that just start on android are not aware of the many replacement options (or if they are, they're not aware of specific ones that would solve their issues).

There's a saying that goes something like "If one is given infinite choices, some people will never be happy (since that they will forever think there is something better than what they currently have), but if one is told what choices they have, then they just grin and bear it, because that's all there is."
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] medorpg:
First thanks for your reply

but I already have Go Launcher and its okay for now

but actually I would like to install MIUI but I have a problem, I dont have a SD Card on my Galaxy S2 its just the internal memory so is there's anyway to install it without SD Card just using the internal memory ?

in both ways I will wait for android 4 I read about it and its really interesting that Google noticed that they have issues with their UI and I hope they solved this issue
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damaged prawdukt:
Whoops. I need a little help ><

So a while ago, I screwed up my phone. After doing a few flashes of different roms...I ended up screwing it up so that no 3 button combos work, no commands work either. I could get into recovery via commands but not download mode.

Eventually I downloaded a new version of MIUI, went to install it. formated my /system only to find out the file did not download properly...was corrupt. Stupidly I restarted my phone, so now as you can guess it does not boot up...

I ordered a JIG should be here any day now.

My question is: Is it possible to flash miui via download mode and odin...without loosing all my data on the phone? (I am mostly concerned about my SMS messages as I need some for an upcoming court case. I know, I know TMI) and if so...how?

Thanks in advance....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
You should be able to request message logs from your provider if you do lose them.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikel.canovas:
+1. You will lose all your data though through odin. No way to fix that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
can you flash miui from odin? NO.

get download mode. flash to stock, use a complete stock odin.

then go to miui website and follow instructions.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damaged prawdukt:
I know how to flash miui, I was just hoping there was another way to do it.

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it. I will look into getting the messages from my provider.

Hey, do you know how you would go about unrooting your phone? Should I just repeat with the rm- command to get rid of Superuser?Also, do you know if you can re-lock the bootloader like the Nexus S or is it like the Nexus One where it's a one way street? Thanks in advance!

Bootloader is re-lockable and does not void warranty. Re-locks with

$ fastboot oem lock

http://source.android.com/source/building-devices.html
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rokfor2000:
In this thread I was told that unlocking the bootloader voids warranty. Does it void it or not?

Will they fix it if I brick my phone when flashing a new rom? Or what happens if screen dies, it will be impossible to re-lock bootloader, would they fix it then?

P.S. Thanks for the guide :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shenye:
It MAY void your warranty. Depends on the cause of the failure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
You can relock the bootloader using fastboot oem lock and they shouldn't be able to tell.

Can anyone modify S Planner so it defaults to a users' google mail account rather than 'My Calendar' when entering a new event - or just get rid of My Calendar completely?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] htc6500uk:
It always defaults to My Calendar but you can just click on the Google Calendar account you want to save it to when you enter the details and have it sync to that google calendar automatically. It might have been a good idea for Samsung to have made the calendar choice "sticky" from the last time it was used but, for whatever reason, they didn't.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sman55:
Yes that is what I was hoping someone could modify - it is just so annoying having to select the google calendar every time you make an entry. Since I do lots of entries it makes this programme unusable for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] easycure1974:
For me it always default to my Google calendar. But if you dont use My calendar - why just not untick in settings - calendars? After that I suppose your Google calendar would be default
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pjm77:
There are two or rather three very annoying problems about the S-Plannar. First - "My calendar" is default no matter what, second - when you tap "event details" the "all day" box is ticked by default and third - when you untick this box, the date when the event ends changes to the next day, so you have to edit it every single time. This really makes me furious, dunno what kind of a retard had these "helpful" ideas, it really ruins the experience if you use it a lot.

Luckily, there is a way around it. What I did was I unticked all the calendars except my google calendar and second - when creating a new event I don't tap the day of the month on calendar, I tap an empty space below the calendar (where it says "No event (tap to create)". Unfortunately it works only for te first appointment of the day, but it's usually enough or me.

Ultimately, I'd be very grateful if somebody skilled could modify these things.
